Ingredients
- 4 fillets white fish fillets (such as cod, tilapia, or snapper)
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
- 2 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 0.5 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped
- 1 whole lime lime wedges (for serving)
Directions
Step 1
Rinse and pat dry the fish fillets with paper towels. Set aside.
Step 2
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lime juice, minced garlic, ground cumin, smoked paprika, chili powder, cayenne pepper, sea salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.
Step 3
Place the fish fillets in a shallow dish or a resealable plastic bag. Pour the marinade over the fish, ensuring each fillet is evenly coated. Let the fish marinate in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes, but no longer than 30 minutes.
Step 4
Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.
Step 5
Remove the fish from the marinade and discard any excess marinade. Place the fillets on the preheated grill.
Step 6
Grill the fish for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the flesh is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
Step 7
Carefully remove the fish from the grill and transfer to a serving platter. Sprinkle with chopped cilantro.
Step 8
Serve immediately with lime wedges on the side for an extra burst of freshness.
